I will admit, I was a bit afraid. First, running outa gas. Second, finding the place. Third, finding the door to get in. And fourth.....walking in to find a no nonsense strongman 'gym' with 7 strongmen. (yikes, she says to herself)
So the implements were pretty much a bit too heavy for me. dang. But man I still had a blast, and Curtis and the other guys were super nice and helpful.
1) So first, the log...The women's log was arriving later that day so I practice with the 70lb one. I had about 20 misses but finally locked one out. Then another. Then another. followed by maybe 10 more misses. but I think I got the hang of it now.
So I loaded up the farmers :) 145 each and made maybe 4 trips. The barn is long.
3) Watched them toss the kegs over an 8 foot beam outside. 8 kegs, and super fast. That's when I met Rocky. Curtis' Rooster. Anyway after they were done I tried them out. Muy hard. I told them not to bother lowering the beam, I would just go under it anyways. And probably have a hard time even clearing my chin. But I got them maybe 4 feet up.
4) tire. sigh.
585 x not a stinkin budge. And I've flipped our xxxl one which is 600 for 2. This one was just dead weight to me. And the smaller tires weren't coming till next week.
5) STONE!!! :)
I couldn't even lap 110 until I put some of that magical tacky on. I love that stuff!!!! (how do you get it off anyway?) so 110 went easy onto the 36" platform and i grabbed the 125. Easy! Was going to grab a heavier one but one of the nice guys said to try it on the 48" platform. Dang. had to drop it. But after some good advice I got that baby up too. Maybe 5 times or so. It was hard to put it away. Too much fun!
So I decided I can't do the actual meet. But I think I will still train down there when Curtis invites people again. Maybe someday. But for now its just alota fun!
